View Full Version : Need help with bookie talk
Ok, over/under I understand. What's the -130 / +115 thing?
that is the money line
example: Mike Tyson Vs Lewis-- tyson +130.
That means if you bet on iron mike you risk 100 bucks to win 130.00. If it was -130 you would risk 130 to win 100. The juice is built into the money lines.
On an NFL games it works the same way.
Most books charge a vig that is -110. That means if you take the raiders at whatever pointspread you are risking 11/10 or $110 to win 100 bucks. If you don't use a point spread the money line is different. The point spread is figured into the money line.
I hope this all makes sense. Respond back if you have anymore questions.
